Flatbed's latest release: HENSHAW Street....a back road tribute. Perfectly rolled with a perfect burn...razor sharp. An earthy, countryfied , old-school blend. It'll take you back to when cigars were cigars. Just leaf. No coloring, no flavoring, no "infusing". No trying to hide, flavor, or cover up an inferior leaf. This cigar is going to rival our Kentucky Fire Cured, and "Peacemaker" meteoric releases! Flatbeders have been raving about it already! Grab this cigar and your favorite chair. Put on some Allman Brothers or Lynyrd Skynyrd and just kick back. You"ll see why I call it a...back road tribute.

Good looking cigar. Nice, dark wrapper, pretty smooth, with a light oily sheen and a nice earthy tobacco smell to it. Cap is nicely applied and cannon is very solid. Takes a v-cut well and the draw is good with a sweet tobacco flavor.
Starts out with some nice mocha, cream hint's, a nice hit of spice and a tobacco base line with toast aromatics and a nice sweet hint at the end of each puff. Smoke production is hi and so far this is a very enjoyable smoke.
Some wood mixing with the mocha in the second third, still nice tobacco flavors and decent spice. solid ash to an inch and a half plus, light grey in color.
The last third was more of the same with the mocha playing the dominant role. Although this isn't a really complex cigar the flavors were very enjoyable and it was well balanced. A good after dinner smoke for sure and another fine cigar from Flatbed Cigars.

Henshaw Street is Earthly Bliss

I typically like a stronger cigar (like the red), but the Henshaw Street was so beautiful and well-made, I had to give it a try. The deep, rich color is gorgeous. I think the construction on this cigar is the best of all the flatbed lines. Although the Track 7 is pretty awesome too. Razor sharp burn. Maybe I'm crazy ....I'm no connoisseur but I think this stick has a hay field flavor with a touch of mint. Very smooth, medium, natural and earthy, a bit of cocoa as others have described, but I get a lot of hay field and a little bit of mint. Wonderful flavor! I think the San Andreas rapper with the Pennsylvania broadleaf is an amazing combination.

One of my favorite "streets"!

Dark, slightly oily wrapper, with a simple yet effective band. First flavors of nice, sweet tobacco, a tingly pepper n cocoa combo, and a slight hint of grains in the background. Further in, the cocoa profile blends in with a nice rich n creamy coffee backing, along with a slight pepper pop, and the tobacco shining bright in the back. The cigar finishes with the tobacco sweetness jumping to the front, a touch of black coffee and roasted nuts, and still just a wisp of pepper. Burn, ash and draw were fantastic, the smoke output was great, with a medium plus body/strength. This is a great cigar to enjoy after a fine meal. Another winner from Flatbed Cigars.

Henshaw Street Review

A nice and spicy beginning and full bodied finish. A very steady burn all the way through. Not for the faint of heart or one who prefers a light smoke. Nicely accompanies a good bourbon or non-peaty scotch. Will definitely order next time.
